PGH Transit Atlas - EDA Notebook¶

Rizaldy Utomo | Public Policy, Analytics, AI Management @ CMU | rutomo@andrew.cmu.edu

🚌 🚴 Interactive Dashboard: https://rzrizaldy.github.io/pgh-transit-atlas/

This notebook performs full ETL + EDA on Pittsburgh's POGOH bikeshare and PRT bus data.

Data Sources:

  • POGOH trip data (Nov 2024 - Oct 2025) - 12 Excel files
  • POGOH station locations
  • PRT bus stop usage

System Insight: This map visualizes the full Pittsburgh transit network (7,000+ bus stops).

  • Red Dots: Bus stops within 400m (5-min walk) of a POGOH station.
  • Gray Dots: Bus stops outside the bikeshare catchment area.

Only 11.5% of bus stops are currently integrated with bikeshare, clustering heavily in Oakland and East Liberty. The vast gray sea represents the "Last Mile" opportunity gap.
